Guess and win!

One Panther slingshot will go to the first commenter who guesses what my next big project will be.

I will wait until the video is finished and uploaded. Then I will decide who came close enough first.

Here you see a photo of some of the parts that I plan to use.

Hint: The RC car will only used in parts, some of it will go straight into the trash.

Hint 2: One part that is still missing is a car door window lifter complete with the motor.

    Well, the winch must be to draw back some serious bands. The RC components and window lifter may be for aiming or reloading, my guess is for aiming as your pump action mechanism could automate the reloading anyway. So, I guess the concept is an electrically powered and aimed slingshot cannon, maybe mounted on the roof or back of your pickup and controlled from the cab.

    Hi Joerg, i think you want to build an completely remotecontrolled slingshot =)

    winch: draw the rubber
    window lifter: hhight adjustment
    car steering/direction: release the shot/ trigger mechanism
    blue box: boule/boccia bullet

    Result: save version of the rooftop shooter :)

    id say that it woud be too easy to guess that its automatic slingshot so i think you are going to add some of these parts to your slingshot cannon

    oh, the blue box could also be the 12V battery

    Add a Windows Kinect, and you could have an automated zombie sentry. Track the zombies with the kinect, and then nail them with the automatic slingshot.

    Realistically, that winch will pull some monster bands, and I suspect the remote control is to keep you far enough away from the carnage if it all goes wrong. You have learnt from almost loosing a thumb....

    Awesome! I would have guessed remote controlled slingshot, but looks like someone already beat me to it.

    You were doing a lot with the length of the bands. My guess would be your longest draw slingshot.

    The window mech is for fire/trigger. Winch is for reload,(one big Mamma Jamma ammo). and the RC, remote fire control/ Aim?...maybe!?

    The winch is to draw back the bands, the car door lifter is to release the drawn bands.

    The RC car is for the remote control mechanism.

    I'm thinking a ridiculously powerful version of the slingshot that you just made- the one you made the large release for.

    My guess is that it is going to be some sort of remote controlled slingshot artillery that can shoot a very far distance ,probably about a quarter of a mile or so if your using a winch like that. And if any thing goes wrong you probably won't want to be right behind it so that's what the remote control is for so you can be a safe distance away.

    You're going to modify your current cannon to be fully remote controlled. Window lifter will control pitch, R/C parts will act as transmitter and receiver, winch will draw the bands.

    i think you will use the parts to create a device to fire your "between two poles" slingshot idea (the one you shot the apple with) from a safe distance.

    HI !! and if you add an IR detector to this stuff you can make a Dead Weapon Machine that auto aim and shoot when someone, like Zombies, were detect in the area

  29. Mike LDecember 28, 2011 at 5:01 PM

    Remotely operated Zombie Rooftop slingshot. I would assume that you would be attaching some sort of video feed. The RC car servos would work well for controlling the "eye", while the window motor would control the aim, and the winch would be for the drawback. Good way to save hands.

    An automatic (or swich operated), winch operated(the winch), with ajustable hight/aiming (the car door moter) and the remote controle car for re-loading, slingshot rifle/cannon

    If there is a prize don't send me it, just send me a message or something.

  31. BersDecember 29, 2011 at 5:36 PM

    The blue box is the battery to power the winch which will be used to draw the shot. The rc parts are for automatic release of the winch and also to adjust the height of the window lifter. Not only will it destroy zombies but you may have made something that could finally defeat Chuck Norris or at least fire from Germany to FPSRussia. Good work.

    remote controlled sling shot

  33. waleedDecember 31, 2011 at 9:31 PM

    THE RC CARS TYRES = will be used to propel the bands straight and accurately to hit the target and give more speed to shoot ball bearings

    200LB winch = to draw the bands back
    battery= to power the winch

    probably might be a electronic slingshot

    It´s gonna be a booster for your pick-up.
    It will be mounted on your car firing backwards delivering thrust following the laws of newton.
    It also will terminate chasing zombies.
    It will enter the books of history as "JÖBOZOTED"
    (Jörgs boost and zombie terminating device).
    Am I right?

    Greetings, great site!!!!

    Maybe just an extreme powerfull Slingshot with an electric trigger

    ReplyDelete
  37. KevinJanuary 8, 2012 at 9:13 PM

    I thing that you will use the camera of the RC Car and chips for aiming and the lifter to operate the trigger. The winch will be used to draw the very powerfull bands of a monstrous remote controlled slingshot.

    Also ich denke....
    Fensterheber > Laden also Kugel in Position schieben
    Winde > spannen des Bandes
    RC > Auslöser "trigger"

    im thinking you are using some sort of explosive amuntion and you are usint the controler to release the bands whilst you are not in range of its dangerous explosion. or... you are going to make another slingshot cannon but using a larger scale and more power. or...a powerful slingshot that you can use the winch as a pulling force to pull zombies closer and kill them with another slingshot that is opperated with some motors from the car.
